About Trailmakers:
In the toughest motoring expedition in the universe, you and your friends will build your own vehicles to cross a dangerous wasteland. Explore, crash horribly, use your wits to build a better rig, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find on your way.
Welcome to the Ultimate Expedition!
Journey over grueling mountains, hazardous swamps, and bone-dry deserts on a distant world far from civilization - it is just you, your fellow adventurers and the amazing, jet-powered hover-buggy you built yourself. Explore, crash your vehicle, build a better one, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find along your way.
Trailmakers is about building very awesome vehicles and machines, but you don’t need an engineering degree to get started. The intuitive builder will get you going in no time. Everything you build is made from physical building blocks. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined the possibilities are endless.
Expedition Mode is the challenging campaign mode of Trailmakers. You are competing in an off-world rally expedition with only a few building blocks to get you started. You must build, tinker with and rebuild your machine to progress. Journey through a big world, overcome deep gorges, angry wildlife and dangerous weather to progress and find new parts that will juice up your machine. The world in Expedition Mode will test your survival skills and ingenuity.
Sandbox Mode is where you want to head for an unrestricted, sandbox, vehicle-building experience. Here you can build anything you can dream of, and play around with it in the world of Trailmakers. It is a great place to test out crazy machines, and experiment with the physics engine. With tons of different blocks, hinges, thrusters and interactive vehicle parts - the skybox is the limit.
Trailmakers is even more fun if you play it with other people. Build cool vehicles and compete in mini-game modes with your friends or other Trailmakers online. Build a helicopter, send it to your friend, and shoot them out of the sky. Put two seats on a tank, and let your friend control the turret. As we get further in Early Access development Expedition Mode will also be adapted to multiplayer.

Personally I'd really like it if you had a challenge where you all went away and had 10 minutes to improve on your designs before coming back to try again. I realise that would take longer, but a lot of the time there's a fatal flaw in the design which makes the rest of the competition a foregone conclusion. I'd love to see it when you can fix any issues between races.

[@jackshotgamer9509]

I have a suggestion for a challenge: Build vehicles (up for decision) with a maximum power code as usual Fight with said vehicles, and every time someone dies, they can respawn, but they have to add another weapon/fixed amount of power cores total, if you go above a certain amount of power cores, you lose. Last person below the power core limit wins. I think this is cool because it incentivizes you to not use all of your power cores and starting with less could be strategically advantageous. It’s also unique because it is automatically balanced, where if one person is winning, they are likely to not stay winning, as they make their opponents stronger every time they destroy them. There could also be a time limit to ensure it doesn’t take too long.

[@HiImManti]

This is one of the best challenge idea's I have ever seen. I think it would be very interesting to watch.

[@liujip0]

For the next Trailmakers challenge, what if you and Yuzei built a catapult and a glider and put them together?

Breaking off the extra segments so only the cab remains could be a strat because ScrapMan seems much faster without the extra weight and the slithering.

[@DarktideVtuber]

hey scrapman, could you do a revisit of the 5-in-one vehicle? i feel like it’s been long enough and it’d be a good time to redo it with all the parts and the new physics updates :)

Suggestion, Snake Battles. With a more flexible and maybe longer train you can add spikes onto the tail end (or ramming with the head) and fight each other by whipping with the tail. I also suggest adding a rule that a player is killed once they loose at least half of their snake, I have done the same thing in another building game and you often end up with a player who is just a head being super mobile and dodging everything. You also get more control over the snake if all the thrust and turning is contained inside the head. I originally did this sliding on ice with some high friction blocks placed strategically around the snake, so hoverpads and wings would still be a must for control.

[@ZhaojuEphastine]

I have multiple suggestions: - Hover Train Evolution Race; - Hover Train Shipping/Hauling Missions (where the shippable products aren't attached to the train); - Hover Train Arena VS mode (armed or melee-only); - Hover Train Duo Combat: One that drives the train and at least one that operates the weaponry); - Dual Hover Train race: Two Locomotives, piloted by two players, that are hauling a big trail or any joined up wagon-trail; - Flying Train Race: Because slithering in the air will grant even more chaos; - Road Train: Litteral train or just a truck with many trailers; - Mech Combat; - Pacific Rim Jäger Chaos: Two players to pilot the mech, just like in the movies. - Deploy the Turrets!: One player is shooting with a turret at specific targets and one has to move the turret with a vehicle. It can be like an obstacle race where each team has to destroy third party targets the quickest. Or the hauling vehicle has to make the (rocket ?) turret move and dodge the opposing team's fire while said turret has to take down the other turret by any means. - Quad Walker Shenanigans: Arena fights (classic or King of the Hill) with movable mechs with 4 legs; Or quad mech race (Slow race but really rough terrain where quad mechs excel at) - Trebuchet Assault: I do not remember if it was already done, but one team builds a castle and the other one flays something. With the updated blocks it could be nice. - Tactical Nuke Siege: One builds a bunker with some explosives in its core and the other one builds a "melee" flying rocket which goal is to explode the Bunker's core. To defend, the Bunker may take down the rocket before it lands. - Two teams made of 3 or more poeple: Because getting 4 people per team in any cooperative versus mode could be hilarious chaos. Like imagine someone driving a truck or locomotive in the arena and then three other people try to take down the opposing team. - Assault King of the Hill: First, you make a fighting vehicle to race to the hill, and then have to build a fortress to hold the place before your opponents can claim your crown. I do not know if it's possible. I even think it will be hard to do, but it's still an idea you can build upon. I may have more ideas in the future xD

[@Chase4FreeWiFi]

Is it just me or doesn't it feel like Scrapman's builds have improved a lot after playing so much with Yzuei? His builds have always been amazing but I think he's been inspired on a whole new creative level now

How did scrapman manage to lose his carriages EVEN SINGLE ROUND. Round 1: 4:44 Round 2: 6:50 Round 3: 8:39 Round 4: 9:32 Round 5 (Spectating): 11:17

[@RonieUliana]

Do that again, but you gain points for the number of wagons that crosses the finish line. It can be quite strategic if you could freely choose how many would you use per round. Risk vs reward 😊

[@delta6025]

I have a suggestion for a challenge: Each make a mobile seige weapon e.g. trebuchet, ballista or catapult and race them until a certain point when you launch a plane from your vehicle then finish the race in your planes.

[@jensreink302]

Really enjoying the new music styles used in the videos. Nice touch editor!👌

[@jocosesonata]

Alright, battle idea: Centrifuge Airstrike. Basically it's a simple concept, build your fastest hover car, and then have a plane follow through the centrifuge as fast as it could. Now, here's the twist. The plane isn't the one attacking the car. The plane just has to survive as long as possible while it loops around the centrifuge. The hover car has the guns, but they don't have brakes. So the hover car can't stop, it can only go forward, and since it's so fast, it's not so easy to trail behind the plane because they just keep going. So, the plane just has to survive looping around the centrifuge, while a super fast hover car tries to destroy it while zooming through the centrifuge at top speed.

[@petryksachko4102]

You could add a delay to the middle and end segments That way at the start the front pulls the other parts of the train Ideally the front should be the most powerful, which should add stability Edit: only the front segment should be powered, the delay would only help at the start and keeping every part powered is a waste

[@andrewcoetzee8858]

This only happened because all segments were powered. Your delay method while not even logical or possible wouldn't work as the technically have the delay you're thinking of with the hitch. If the trains were guided in a rail then all cars could be powered as they'd be centred but not here. The lead car needs to be powered

[@petryksachko4102]

@@andrewcoetzee8858 yeah you're right But the delay would help at the start But keeping only the front segment powered would be the better decisions for stability

[@padalan2504]

This again, but using sleds. Also a combat match where you are allowed to only have your guns aimed upwards, so you have to get to the opposite side of the centrifuge to shoot at other people. Then a match against the people in the centrifuge shooting into the centre, where a vtol or a heli will try to take them out.

[@ShawnF6FHellcat]

Idea: A ground race where you each build a ground vehicle, then you attach 4 large static wings to the top or sides once done building. Rules: wheel power only; no thrusters; no weapons; no wing controls; 10-20 powercore limit. The concept is that the faster you go, the more you'll lift off the ground and lose speed. You need to find the right amount of speed to both stay on the ground and stay in front of the others.

[@mission2858]

*evening star ~ night falls plays louder every lap*

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

Oh, so much chaos! But the clear indication is that having thrust in the carriages isn't a good idea. Same race, all propulsion in the locomotive and just hoverpads on the trailers. Have a thrust section that each can add to their train easily, then add another trailer.

[@midnightwafflez1526]

Do it again, but add a person and require that everybody use one of each person's train segment in whatever order they want. More high speed races or challenges in general would be really cool, definitely gives a different feeling.

[@Hyper_Fox06]

This is perfect timing, I was just thinking of a multiplayer idea with trains but didn't think it would work with a ground train . Idea Train Robbery. Armored train designs fend off the other players, to win they have to dock with the train similar to the aircraft carrier planes but can use magnets on a docking arm etc.

[@dogekingcz5405]

I think a plane evolution but with the new parts would look sick!

[@WoodrosWorld]

7:26 reminds me of an animated dragon, the way it slithers with the trails..

[@mackobun]

I think an improvement would be to remove the propulsion from the rear cars. Pushing against the floppy hinge is causing steering issues. Maybe each subsequent race you add more cores to the trains "engine" for additional pulling power.

[@fattyOmar1785]

Just joined in, already know this gonna be a good video.

[@Vessekx]

You should have done bonus points based on the number of cars you finish with.

[@zocorzwiftshot]

mm idea: plane racing but you get an agreed upon number of wings to use and every time you that do a race you have to remove 2 wings from your craft edit: the last race should have 3 or 5 wings, as an example you could have 2 in the front, maybe 2 in the back and 1 ontop

[@sapphirech5599]

If you're planning to build hover trains I challenge you three to make a flying train and dogfight with it 😁

You should try segmented planes; the front segment having all of the control, with every segment behind only having wings with some lift to stay up, like a flying centipede. Would be interesting to see how the physics react :P

Day 1 of asking for a cargo plane race 🛫 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Build cargo planes big enough to carry the specified cargo item (perhaps in teams). Then, take off from the start line and race to the collection point. Once the cargo is picked up, race to the drop off zone then to the finish line. You could do three races with a point system to determine the winner.

[@malhardeadshot6118]

Do a thruster powered sledge race now using skis

[@TheAlison1456]

it's interesting that a slithering motion emerges from the forward thrust of many joints, even though it's not using the same propulsion that a musculated snake has.

[@thearchergaming9500]

I think the problem which everyone is having is that ever car needs to be slower than the car in front of it. So the cab being the fastest and each car being slightly slower the further back you go. The best way to do this would probably be having tail fins on servo motors and set their position so that the first car is straight, the second at like 10 degrees outwards, 3rd at 20, 4th at 30. So that the drag on each car is slightly more than in front so that the train stays straight.

[@atacstringer8573]

I love this video y'all should do the same thing but like a crash derby with these things to see who can survive who is the stronger train

[@dragong33k]

this makes me want to see a hover train evolution where you have to alter all carriages and the locomotive/engine as well as adding a carriage every round

[@kingninja2794]

At the end you should have had a “for funsies lap” with doubling your whole builds for a grand total of 10 cars each. BONUS ROUND for you to decide if there’s any point value perhaps with a round of heads or tails within the game if that’s possible 😊

[@cat_03tv]

I feel like that ain't possible becuz of complexity limits

[@TheLucasnmm]

I think it should be better to have all the trains lengths in the transformation, and have all the laps in a single run, so you'd start the race with 1, after completing one lap you transform for the length 2, and so on. also, the whole lap should have the full train lenght, meaning that you must stop and repair as soon as you lose a segment, since the small trains are easier to control 🙃🙃

[@joshuabath5430]

Game mechanics 101: When making a train, DONT PUT PROPULSION ON THE CARS BEING PULLED. The reason for this is the game sees he pulled car as a separate vehicle with the same momentum and speed as the vehicle in front and. Yes it creates drag, but for game m adding thrusters to the pulled vehicle is just going to shove it into the one ahead, it could be lessened with less thrust, but you have to put less and less thrust with each additional car if you go that route or it ends up with the exact problem you guys were having. This is why trains in the real world don't have engines in the individual cars.

[@jagerbomb5892]

Hey scrapman. Y'all should definitely do a death race around whatever track where you each only get missiles for weapons and. A block limit of like 20 to start and it grows by 10 each lap or each race. Something to level the playing field if someone makes their car too slow to keep them from lighting the other guys up could be a limit on how often you can fire the missiles. 2 turret max.

[@Nozerone]

Evolution hover train. Each person builds a train starting with the engine and 1 car. After each lap you have to copy the train car to make a new section, and make changes to only that new section, trying to improve on what the previous section was. Or after each lap you take the winning train, and create a new car to put on the end to try and improve the train.

[@tales9476]

Here's an idea for a race video: everyone gets a random selection of blocks each round to add to their creation. Could be interesting, as someone might go for making a janky 1-wheel'd car, while someone else tries to make a plane with woefully inadequate control surfaces, for example.

[@hammondsfamily441]

You can make a team-building contest to see which team builds the fastest race cars. ( The teams could be as big or small as you want.)

[@Dragonorder18]

I think this race need some extra configuration to improve control. But It was pretty awesome to watch it with Almost no control! It seems the Sections need some drag to keep them from flopping?

All 3 three trains looked awesome! Can you try a race using just the front section of each train to see which build is actually better instead of seeing who can survive the physics?

I think you should do multiplayer mace melee, meaning that you attach an object to your main vehicle using a hinge and use that object to slam it into your opponents. Everything is fair game except flight and ramming using your main vehicle.
